Water in the fridgador.

[dowellmichaeld]

Hey CL members,

I've had a new wine cooler set up for a week or so now (vinotemp 28 bottle, Target special). The water tends to pool a little in the indentation at the bottom before it exits the unit. I put two folded pieces of paper towel on the sides of the hole to prevent a new drops from splashing (it's not a pool, just being safe). I was wondering what everyone else with a fridge does to prevent or eleminate this problem. Also, what do you guys do with the exit tray in the rear. I was thinking of putting cut up pieces of a sponge in the slots to soak up water so it doesn't overflow if I leave the unit for extended periods of time (weeks). Any ideas here? Look forward to your thoughts and ideas. MDD.

"Also if you guys discover your units are not draining do not be surprised. The drain is a piss poor design, it is not a straight thru drain , it goes down then hits an elbow and then down and out, and even better mine was clogged with the insulating foam from the assembly line. I drilled straight thru with a 3/8" drill bit right out the bottom of the cabinet then epoxied a plastic tube in place, so I can either have it drain into the pan or slip a drain line over the protruding plastic tube and use a plastic bottle to catch the condensation. I tried both and it now works like a charm. That sounds bad but it was an easy fix, and now there is absolutely no residual condensation in the cooler."


I thought I read somewhere, that someone had the condensation drip into their beads/foam to keep them moist. Not sure how it's done though.

Hope it helps
